What resolution? Which Corsair 650w, hopefully not the VS or CXM. You may also want to consider a cpu upgrade as quad cores are struggling in some newer high end games.

The CXM is an ok unit, but the VS is best left alone. If you are looking to play newer/modern titles, you are going to want a CPU upgrade too, most likely. Quad core gaming is on its way out.

RTX2070 Super = 470

I suggest upgrading from a 4 core to something like a Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600. Will have to upgrade motherboard and ram.

There is, imo, a good deal of difference, but you have to decide if that difference is worth the added cost. If you are looking at higher end GPU's, and 1080p gaming, I would say the 3600 is the way to go.

1660 TI or RTX 2060
